Marry my elder sister? Fine! I'll give you the letter of annulment and marry someone else.

My name is Jiang Li, and I am the only one left alive after the entire Jiang family was executed.

I was only eight years old at that time.

If my nanny hadn't been quick enough to put me in the pond, I would probably have died.

While nestling in the pond, I heard countless screams.

I saw all the servants who usually spoke to me and paid their respects were killed in the flash of swords and sabers. I saw my father being killed by a hail of swords in his desperate attempt to protect my mother, but then my mother was also caught and stabbed through the heart with a sword.

Her eyes were wide open, her mouth opening and closing as if she was saying something, and she looked in my direction with her eyes open until she died.

Although I didn't hear the sound, I understood what my mother meant.

She said, “Live well.”

Later, when everything returned to calm, I climbed ashore tremblingly, and all I could see was the entire Jiang Mansion in scarlet.

All those familiar people were lying on the ground in a mess, and my father and mother could no longer speak to me as gently as before.

In this vast world, it seems like I am the only one left.

I have no home anymore.

I was extremely scared and cried out to them, trying to wake them up.

"Don't die, don't die!"

However, there was no response except the sound of the wind.

My happiness was shattered that day, and I became an orphan with no relatives.

Just because my father chose the wrong side, his entire family was executed.

I couldn't even reveal my identity and come forward to collect their bodies.

Hatred devoured my sanity and continued to grow and overflow in my heart. It was the motivation that kept me going through every difficult night. My mind was filled with only one thought - revenge!

But I was too young and had nothing to rely on, so I had to plan every step carefully.

Fortunately, because I was young and didn't show up often, almost no one knew who I was when I escaped.

When the people in the city saw me wandering around alone, and learned that I was an orphan, they kindly sent me to the orphanage.

After joining the Salesian Affairs Bureau, I did not hide my incompetence because I knew I had to be seen in order to achieve my goal.

So before long, everyone knew that a talented child prodigy had arrived at the Salesian Bureau.

It happened that the emperor announced to the world that he wanted to select a study partner for the princess, regardless of gender.

I knew this was a good opportunity, so I went to the government office to sign up.

Not long after, I was recommended to the princess because of my extraordinary talent.

In the fragrant garden, I saw the little princess with red lips and white teeth for the first time.

She smiled with her eyes curved, and it was obvious that she was well protected and had never been hurt.

Her pair of lively big eyes seem to be able to speak. As long as she pouts and acts coquettishly, everyone around her will feel soft-hearted for her.

I looked at her coldly, thinking that if it weren't for her father, I would also have been pampered and grown up by my family.

I tried hard to suppress the hatred in my heart and made myself look steady and elegant.

I lowered my head silently, waiting for the little princess to choose like a piece of goods.

Her father, my enemy, followed behind her with a doting look on his face, "Yu'er, your father has found so many study partners for you, but you're not satisfied. What kind of study partner do you want?"

The little princess snorted proudly without answering.

Suddenly, a pair of exquisitely embroidered shoes stopped in front of me. The shoes were moon white, as bright as the moon in the sky, and there was a huge oriental pearl on the toe of the shoes.

Then a sweet and innocent voice sounded, "You, raise your head and let this princess see."

It was my first time facing my enemy's daughter. I was a little nervous, but I still pretended to be calm and raised my head as I was told.

"Wow, little brother, you are so handsome."

The moment I looked up, a pair of bright and clear eyes met my eyes. She opened her eyes exaggeratedly, as if she had seen some rare treasure.

what is she doing?

Are you amazed by my appearance?!

Before I could respond, she skipped back to Emperor Li, took his hand, and said coquettishly, "Didn't your Majesty ask what kind of study partner you wanted? Here, I want someone like him."

She smiled brightly and stretched out a finger to point at me. Her small fleshy hand was like a snowball.

I clenched my fingers and felt deeply humiliated.

I clearly have the abilities of a genius prodigy and a steady and down-to-earth character, but she chose a mere appearance.

Superficial! Childish! Vulgar!

I was so angry that my face turned red, but she thought I was embarrassed and comforted me in a considerate way, saying, "Don't be shy, little brother. Can you be my study partner?"

good or not?

Of course it’s okay to ask this question, I came here for her.

So I agreed without hesitation, but then I remembered that Emperor Li had not spoken yet, so I looked over with fear and trepidation.

But the man who had executed an entire family without blinking an eye now said lovingly, "Then let Yu'er do as he pleases. Let him be your study companion."

In one sentence, I laid the first cornerstone of my road to revenge.

The little princess was very happy to get permission.

She happily ran to my side, clapping her hands and saying, "Brother, that's great! I finally have a study partner."

Her expression was innocent and cute, and she was genuinely happy from the bottom of her heart.

But the more pure she is, the more I look like a stinky rat in the gutter.

Hatred surges uncontrollably.

Why, why can she be raised so well, while I have to endure the tragedy of my family being broken up? Isn’t it her family’s fault that I’m here now?

I lowered my head again, afraid that the hatred in my eyes would be exposed and ruin my plan.

Maybe I was too quiet. She looked at me and said, "Little brother? You don't look very happy. Don't you like that I don't want to be your study partner?"

When she finished saying this, I immediately felt murderous intent in Emperor Li's eyes as he looked at me.

I was shocked and said quickly, "Of course I like the princess and want to be her study partner. I'm not unhappy, I'm just too happy to react."

I put all my acting skills into pretending to be surprised.

She finally felt relieved, "I was so scared, I thought you didn't like me."

She regained her cheerful look, like a happy little butterfly.

I thought darkly in my heart, laugh, laugh, when the day comes that I get my revenge, I hope you can still laugh like you do now.

Because I was an orphan, in order to better serve as a study companion, Li Huang directly set aside a room for me in the side hall of the Princess Pavilion as a shelter.

I moved there that afternoon.

The little princess seemed to have endless energy. She pulled me to decorate the house. Haha, there were peach blossoms she picked herself on the table, and they were so ugly.

I had more than twenty new suits of clothes made for me, which was a complete waste.

She even asked the imperial kitchen to prepare all kinds of delicacies for me. She blinked her big, sparkling eyes and said, "Little brother, you must have never tasted these delicious foods before. Ruoruo is treating you. Come and eat quickly."

I clenched my chopsticks.

No, I have eaten it.

When my parents were alive, they wanted to give me all the good things. How could I not have eaten them?

My eyes were filled with mist and my nose couldn't help but feel sour.

She stood on tiptoe in a hurry to wipe my tears. "Why are you crying? It's just some food, there's no need to get so excited. At worst, I can ask them to cook for you every day."

She comforted me for some unknown reason, but she didn't notice the deep hatred in my eyes.

Soon, I went to study at the Imperial College with her.

I could guess that she was not good at her studies, but I didn't expect it to be that bad. She seemed to be listening to incomprehensible things even though they were obviously very simple.

I know she is not stupid, she just doesn't want to learn.

Whenever she saw me being praised by the Imperial Master, she would always lean on the table with her head propped up in admiration and say, "Jiang Li, you are truly amazing."

Her eyes just kept blinking at me, and even the stars in the sky were not as beautiful as her eyes.

My heart suddenly skipped a beat and I stared at her in a daze.

I suddenly felt a little guilty and thought that perhaps I shouldn't blame the little princess for Emperor Li's mistakes.

She is just a child who knows nothing.

I thought this silently in my heart, and suddenly realized that I was actually making excuses for my enemy's daughter.

I must be crazy.

How can this be!

I quickly cleared my mind and tried to clear my mind. I came here for revenge and couldn't be soft-hearted.

But what I didn't expect made me even crazier was that the longer I stayed in the Princess Pavilion and the more contact I had with the little princess, the more attracted I became to her.

This situation is not surprising because she has that kind of charm that makes everyone like her.

Her every move, every frown and smile moved me.

I began to feel fear and tried to hide and suppress my emotions.

As she grew taller and taller, her chubby face shed, and she became so beautiful that it was shocking.

There are many people who like her. The young masters of princes and nobles fawn and nod in front of her just to get a smile from her.

But she doesn't pay much attention to those little brats. She always likes to stick to me.

If there wasn't a deep blood feud between her and me, I think I would definitely fight for the chance to be with her.

It’s a pity that there are not so many ifs.

The noblemen in the Imperial College were very jealous of me for winning the favor of the little princess, and they began to laugh at me for being a cowardly man who lived off the little princess.

Of course, they wouldn't laugh at me in front of the little princess because she always protected me so well, but this made those little brats even angrier.

They excluded me, humiliated me and suppressed me, but I never broke down.

By that time, my emotions had become terrifyingly stable.

One cold winter day, she saw me returning to the Princess Pavilion dripping wet and immediately guessed what had happened. She angrily dragged me to find Emperor Li to take charge.

But I stopped her.

I slowly wiped the water off my face with a towel. "No need for that. If I go, won't that just confirm my identity as a gigolo?"

She muttered softly, "You are my teacher, better than all of them, you are not a gigolo."

At that time, because of my outstanding talent, Emperor Li specifically asked me to teach the little princess more.

It’s no longer about accompanying her to study, but about teaching her more.

My excellence was not only appreciated by the Imperial Teacher, but also by the Emperor Li.

So during that time, the little princess always liked to call me teacher in a teasing manner.

When she called out these two words, the ending tone rose slightly, and then took a few turns, which was very pleasant to the ear.
